All Summer Long

It was 2008
My thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a girl and woman
He was 23 and we were always in between
It was summer time in northern California
It was graduation celebrations and playing wii into the night
It was summer of love and inevitable goodbyes
It’s the simple things in life like when and where
We were always on the Internet
But man I never will forget his face when Eva came walking in

And we were trying different things, we were yelling funny things
Testing our love all damn summer long
Sippin patron out the bottle, not thinking bout tomorrow
He was singing “I like the bartender” all summer long

Pouring sangria in the class – always talking trash
Rocking our flip flops all night long
They’ll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We’d have aching feet- we couldn’t wait for night to come
To hit that bar and play some rock and roll

Making cards and saving weddings from NYC to Cali
While we were quoting Carrie Bradshaw – and writing funny things
They were getting hungry and eating their favorite cheese,
Sippin juice squeeze out the bottle, never thinking bout tomorrow
Singing Tim McGraw all summer long

Texting all the time – tryin to be Carrie
Worried bout our Mr. Big’s all night long
She’s always had a spot inside my soul
We’d work all the time but couldn’t wait for night to come
To lay down and watch some SATC
While we were trying different things we were wearing funny things
Getting stuck in the city all night long
Sipping everything out the bottle
never a thought about tomorrow
Singing every damn song all summer long

It was 2008
My suit was small their trunks were long
Caught somewhere between smoke and fire
We were playing boggle getting caught in Murphy beds
It was our time in clear lake
With mom loving the ducks and in us in the boat all day
Leaving came way to soon
We were eating different things we were meeting funny things

It was 2008
Our days were short our nights were long
Caught somewhere between LA and Alabama
They were 20 and bout to leave
It was our summer in northern California
Splashing in the hot tub, writing papers on the couch
It’s the simple things in life like fam and friends
What fun you can have on the Internet
But man i never will forget when phelps won that race

And they were playing beer pong all night long- drinking funny things
Watchin movies all the time
Sippin who knows what out the bottle
trying not thinking bout tomorrow
Singing sweet home Alabama all summer long

Nothing seemed as strange
As when the leaves began to change
Or how our moms thought those days would never in
Sometimes I hear that song and start to sing along
and worry bout the one we left behind

and we were doin all new things and we were sayin funny things
chillin in the garage listening to our favorite song
sippin beer out the cup – all the way until tomorrow
singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Cause YOU KNOW WE WERE SINGING
"SWEET HOME ALABAMA" ALL SUMMER LONG
